  “Madison and Kilpatrick on the west side of Chicago. This space right here was a building known as The Factory, one of the first places that birthed footwork. Early 83’ to late 85’ there were a lot of breakdancers coming in and out. I couldn’t come here as I was a small fry, not old enough. My cousins would come from the south side as they loved to party, they would have house parties and the dancers from The Factory would come, which is when I got to see the dancing. The DJs at these parties were better than the ones on the radio - and that was the birth of my passion to become the DJ.”
